Registration for Summer Reading Program at Sterling Public Library Starts May 20

***Press Release***

It’s time to register for the Summer Reading Program at Sterling Public Library.  The theme for this year’s program is “Dig Into Reading”.  Registration begins Monday, May 20, 2013 and continues through the summer. 

On Monday, May 20^th from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. the library will hold a Summer Reading Extravaganza.  During that time kids will be able to play a special game, create their own snack and register for the program.

Those signing up during the week of May 20^th may begin reading as soon as they register.  Reading time can be turned in beginning May 28^th at 6:00 p.m.  Reading materials need to be from Sterling Public Library.  This includes e-books and e-audios checked out from Across Colorado Digital Consortium.

 Anyone age 2 to 100+ may participate.  Participants will be divided into 6 groups according to age.  Each of the categories is designed with the age of the child in mind. 

Participants age 2 through grade 12 will get a prize for the first 6 levels of reading completed.  For each level completed participants are also entered in the drawing for grand prizes.  This year we have added some additional prizes that can be earned for levels 12 and 18.  As you turn in time you will learn more about these prizes.

Remember summer is a time for fun and reading should be an enjoyable part of your summer.  Reading for enjoyment can also help children maintain or improve skills.  Parents may also participate in the program and set a good example for your children.  We hope to see everyone reading this summer.
